Hipsters have been creaming over the LCD Soundsystem/Arcade Fire double bill for a while now, so here's a little more news to add fuel to the fire (I swear there was no pun intended there). The two bands will be teaming up to release a split 7" to coincide with their cross-country jaunt. LCD covers Joy Division's "No Love Lost," while Arcade Fire tries their hand at Serge Gainsbourg's "Poupee de Cire." The single will only be available on tour and through the bands' respective websites. Forgot the dates? Here they are, just 'cuz we love you:
